Acrylic and ecoline on paper The Shadows in music… This was filmed in the 60’s. The resolution is bad but the simplicity and the lighting of the video are quite nice. Shadow art, most of it made out of trash!

Autumn is almost here

Autumn is almost here

The next pictures were taken a while ago near the Mauricie national park. We visited this patch of land with one of our friends who was looking for a place to build her house. Some years later, she now lives in a beautiful little eco-house, surrounded by all that...

I got sucked into programming this weekend, no time for drawing. Too bad since I had bought some very nice pastel crayons to draw on pebbles. Still, I escaped half an hour here and there. Here are some pictures, hopping from one subject to another in a natural food...
I have a thing for bears

Time flew by these past few days and work got piled up so I only had a short afternoon on Sunday to play with the pebbles. I would have liked to make more but after five or six it got repetitive and inspiration grew short. And I got frustrated. I am still trying not...

Rain

It’s been pouring all night, it’s still raining… The frogs started singing again. The next photos were taken seven years ago, during fall. It had been a very rainy and windy one. We had a guest from Marseille who visited Quebec for the first time....
